Quite literally "♥♥♥♥ yeah" the game. It is everything that gaming used to be. 9/10, just wish it had more executions.

Early Access Review
This game was a shocking disappointment. Having played the predecessor for free, I expected this game to have a decently expanded scale for the $10+ price tag. I found myself let down by just how short the game is, how little there actually is to discover, and how linear things were. It felt oddly shorter than the demo, and had far fewer interesting environments or mysteries to discover.

Using the classic backrooms environment as the core of many of the levels made things really repetitive, and made exploration feel like a bit of a chore. All I wanted to do was get out of the offices so I could find the actually interesting areas.

Aside from scale, the scares are the next thing I found underwhelming. Having the camera ripped away from my control any time there was meant to be a big scare completely ruined any effect they could have had. The natural encounters with the tall fella were by far the highlights of the game, and they were woefully few and far between. Of the ones I found, him cornering me in the house basement area was super cool as he would move around organically as I lost and gained line of sight on him. If that was mechanic was used literally anywhere else, the game would be vastly improved.

Also, this game is kind of a blatant rip of the Kane Pixels series on YouTube. I think the intention was as an homage, but it was laid on so thick it just felt like it was capitalizing on someone else's creativity. Overall, this game is an impressive stab at the liminal horror genre. The quality and craft is clearly there as the game looks fantastic and the sound design was amazing, but the small scale, level design and creative choices firmly stop me from recommending this to anyone.

It's short, it's sweet, and it's incredibly original. Can't think of a reason not to give this game a look. Even if you're not a horror fan, these are just awesome fiction concepts.

While the goal was to find three golden statues, the only thing I found was myself spending far too much time playing this game. It is incredibly addicting and I cannot wait for a DLC, well worth the price. Also jiggle physics.

This game is a super creative and accessible romp into analogue horror that is absolutely worth looking into. If you are interested in D&D type fantasy and/or analogue horror (even as a beginner to either) this game is super awesome. Also make sure to read the art book once you finish the game, it's a nice read.

The fact that Bungie feels they can take away content I paid for is asinine beyond belief. Stealing my money combined with the absolutely disgusting monetisation practices they've implemented in the newest seasons has just completely destroyed any trust I have in the company. What a ♥♥♥♥ game, and what a ♥♥♥♥ company.

This game is absolutely spectacular, but the performance and loading issues are unacceptable. The game went from stuttering so badly it was completely unplayable, to just not loading at all. I have done every fix in the book and have reinstalled twice. Amazing game, but they NEED to fix the game breaking bugs.
